“I just brought over a few clothes from my new big apartment. George went to buy some household supplies for me.”
Huo Tingzhen: "Where's the address? I'll bring a friend along to celebrate with you."
Huo Tingzhen is bringing a friend along, and Jian Yu is quite curious about who the other person is.
"Okay! I'll send you the address."
Huo Tingzhen's phone rang, and he immediately opened the location sent by Jian Yu.
After confirming the direction, they headed towards the mall with Bao Yanbai.
Bao Yanbai followed behind her and suggested, "I know a crystal shop with many items that would make a great housewarming gift."
Huo Tingzhen said, "Lead the way!"
Bao Yanbai immediately said, "I'll drive you there! Leave your car here for now, and we'll come back to pick it up together later."
Huo Tingzhen had no objection.
On the way, he texted Huo Qizhen, "Jian Yu bought a new house and has already moved in."
Kenneth Fok has not responded.
Bao Yanbai picked up an enormous crystal ornament and said, "Let's both buy this!"
Huo Tingzhen saw through his intention at a glance, "If you want to give it to me, then give it to me. I'm planning to give you a set of red wine glasses."
Knowing that Jian Yu doesn't drink alcohol, Huo Tingzhen switched to a water glass.
Bao Yanbai said with a hint of regret, "Alright!"
Bao Yanbai bought a crystal swan ornament.
He then took Huo Tingzhen to the shop next door and bought a set of high-end porcelain teapots.
At checkout, at Huo Tingzhen's insistence, Bao Yanbai's black card was not used.
Bao Yanbai took his own ornaments and then took Huo Tingzhen's teacup and porcelain, carrying them together.
This time, Huo Tingzhen did not refuse.
Jian Yu opened the door and saw Bao Yanbai carrying two gift boxes in one hand and with the other hand loosely around Huo Tingzhen's back in a protective posture, gazing at her tenderly.
Upon seeing Jian Yu, she turned her gaze over to him and said, "Tingzhen and I congratulate you on your housewarming."
Two gift boxes were presented to Jian Yu.
Bao Yanbai said, "Tingzhen said this set of porcelain is perfect for you to drink water from, and I think so too. Open it and take a look."
Jian Yu accepted the gift box. "Thank you, you've gone to so much trouble!"
Huo Tingzhen put his arm around Jian Yu and walked inside. "Let me see what your new home is like."
After casually glancing around, I thought, "This place is nowhere near as comfortable as where we live! If you want to sunbathe, there's no lawn to accompany you, and no fragrance of soil."
Hearing her deliberately picking a fight, Jian Yu shook her head helplessly, "Have a seat! I made some pork rib soup, drink more later."
I'm not here to drink soup.
Huo Tingzhen pursed her lips. "I'll definitely drink more."
Jian Yu placed the gift boxes on the coffee table and opened them one by one.
Place the crystal ornament on the living room shelf.
Take the porcelain to the kitchen to clean it.
When they came out, they were carrying two glasses of water on a tray.
Bao Yanbai looked closely and saw that the cup filled with water was the porcelain cup that had just been delivered.
Jian Yu looked at him with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry! We don't have all the necessary items at home, so we don't have any tea to offer. Mr. Bao, you'll have to make do with plain water."
Bao Yanbai smiled very gently, "Miss Jian, you're too kind. I heard from Tingzhen that you're moving to a new house. Due to time constraints, I only managed to buy a housewarming gift on the street. I hope you won't mind."
"How could that be? It's an honor for me, Mr. Bao, to give me a housewarming gift. How could I possibly find it distasteful?"
Huo Tingzhen picked up the cup and handed it to Bao Yanbai, saying, "Alright, let's stop being so polite."
Bao Yanbai's gaze shifted to the cup in his hand, a broad smile appearing in his eyes as he took a small sip.
Jian Yu frowned slightly as he looked at the water, which had only been boiled for a short time and still seemed a little hot.
Bao Yanbai, however, did not find it offensive at all; on the contrary, he drank it with great relish.
Huo Tingzhen's face showed a slight difference. The cup was a bit hot; she could feel it, and estimated the water temperature to be over fifty degrees Celsius.
Don't you think the water is too hot?
Bao Yanbai: "It's alright, I was just thirsty."
Huo Tingzhen nodded helplessly; she accepted this reason.
Bao Yanbai smiled and said, "I can really accept this water temperature."
"But high temperatures are bad for the stomach."
Bao Yanbai seemed to be hearing this for the first time, and his face showed just the right amount of surprise. "Then please remind me more often in the future, Tingzhen."
"Why should I remind you? You don't even eat with me often."
Bao Yanbai then invited, "Then I'll pick you up for three meals a day from now on. Remember to remind me at the table."
Huo Tingzhen: "You wish! My maid makes such delicious breakfasts, why would I go out to eat with you?"
Bao Yanbai: "Then I'll come to your house for breakfast!"
Huo Tingzhen: "Don't even think about it!"
Jianyu, “…”
Bao Yanbai said, "Then how about I treat you to dinner every night?"
Huo Tingzhen: "It depends on my mood!"
Bao Yanbai seized the opportunity to invite him, "Then let's go to a French restaurant tomorrow night for your favorite beef stew in red wine."
Huo Tingzhen rolled her eyes. "I'm not going!"
Bao Yanbai said, "Then you treat me! I want to eat beef stewed in red wine."
Huo Tingzhen: "If you want to eat, just go get it yourself!"
Bao Yanbai said, "We all came to Jian Yu's house to congratulate her on moving, so it's only right that you treat me to a meal."
Huo Tingzhen: "You can leave now!"
Bao Yanbai shook his head, "We can't leave until we finish our meal!"
After saying that, she looked at Jian Yu and asked, "Can I finish my meal before I leave?"
Jian Yu noticed the tenderness in his eyes and was somewhat stunned. Bao Yanbai's current appearance was completely different from Jian Yu's first impression of him.
The first time Jian Yu saw him, he was chasing after his love rival and beating him up. Words like irritable, unruly, and impulsive could all be used to describe him.
He reappeared shortly afterward.
He became very polite.
Jian Yu nodded blankly, "Of course we can only leave after we finish eating. George will be back soon, and we can start eating as soon as he gets back."
Bao Yanbai nodded his thanks.
When George returned, he was carrying a pile of household items.
Jian Yu set out the bowls and chopsticks and invited him to eat with her.
George lingered in the bathroom for a while before finally coming out.
After dinner, George offered to help clean up.
Jian Yu was about to see Huo Tingzhen and Bao Yanbai off when he suddenly noticed water dripping from the roof.
Jian Yu looked up and saw the crystal chandelier in the living room flickering. There were already large patches of water around, like a waterfall cascading down.
Jian Yu's eyes widened. What was going on?
Just then, George ran out of the kitchen, shouting, "Oh no! The kitchen is leaking!"
Is the leak in your house? Or is it the leak from upstairs?
George, "The upstairs apartment is leaking."
Jian Yu pushed open the door and ran out.
I knocked on the door for ages.
No one answered.
Jianyu had no choice but to notify the property management.
After the property management staff arrived, they contacted the homeowner, who then slowly opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, a stream of water rushed out.
Jianyu's slippers and ankles got wet.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! My water pipes are broken. I just got back and discovered it. I will compensate you for the damage. Please don't be angry."
Don't be angry?
How can I not be angry?
On the first day after moving, the entire house was flooded.
